Yes I have 2 back up bows. A Browning and a self bow. I really wouldnt want to use my self bow but would if I had no other option.

Not only a back up bow but back up strings and cables just in case....it's always a good idea especially a invested trip.

I will use my wife's bow for backup in a pinch. it used to be mine. It is an Alpine Impact X-treme. It now has 40-50# limbs so it will produce enough KE to make a clean kill. It is also very DL adjustable so I could get it tuned for me in a hurry if I had to. I had 60=70# limbs on it and I made my first bow kill with it. A 125# hog.

I might have a couple sitting around that I could use.......

I don't consider them back-ups though, I call them "Game Time Decisions" as they will all see some action most likely.
